The American Apocalypse

Hardly. I don't get deeply offended by anything.

Deeply offended is for snowflakes.

You don't give a shit about a single thing though.

Yeah, snowflakes like Trump.

I care about a lot of things, I just don't have time for deeply offended.

You will know when I become deeply offended because that will be the day I start working on my survival bunker.

I'm with Rip. I don't get "deeply offended" by what people say. I get mad or sad when I see people picking on others or taking actions that harm them. But offended.. that's a waste of time.

[Zarathud]

Words matter.
People matter.
Intent matters.

Put all three together, and it really matters. But the offense depends on how many strikes. If someone says racist hurtful shit about a person and means it, I can get deeply offended.

[Holman]

Being deeply offended about someone's odious opinion is one thing.

Being deeply offended because someone horrible is doing something horrible to people or values or countries we love or respect is entirely another.

No, people who call people snowflakes do it mostly because they can't win with actual arguments, so they have to fall back on ad hominems.

There is no argument that justifies denying someone the opportunity to speak. No matter whether it is done by the government or a bunch of cowardly hooligans with masks setting stuff on fire and assaulting people.

Which has exactly what to do with either what I said or calling people names in lieu of addressing their actual points?

Their points are that they don't like people's words and want them to be forced to shut up or for there to be closets put aside for them to hide in to cower in fear of those words. The name itself is a way of addressing their points and rejecting such via mocking. If you want protected from the words of others buy some earplugs.

I demand Trump stop Putin's invasion of Korea......

Tell Trump that the next time he lets negative news reports about his administration, or an SNL skit, get under his thin skin.

Buy some earplugs, you orange snowflake.

Now that was funny, and sad. She wasn't speaking from a prepared speech, and clearly had to try and recall which country she needed to cite. Korea is a far cry from Ukraine. We all know exactly what she meant, though.

It's not like the Bowling Green Massacre, or the multitude of other patently false Alt-Facts and Trumpisms.

Hopefully this bunker is somewhere inland. Cause you know, there's this alt-news about global warming.

I checked the maps, and if we can get the world toasty enough, my house will become beachfront property just before everything dies. Climate change? More like Climate Awesome!

I'd love to, that would be one of the wisest things he has ever done. His biggest problem is that he can't just ignore the haters and do what he has to do.

It will be but if CC turns out to be true I should be able to fish without straying to far from the hatch.

Sounds as though all of the Democrats should start only speaking from prepared statements with Pelosi thinking Bush is still POTUS.

And there's the problem. In order to make you happy and keep himself popular in your eyes, he is ignoring "the haters" and "doing what has to be done." The problem is that is your expectation. Push your agenda. Ignore everything else. But then willful ignorance is what this movement basks in, isn't it?

Are you looking for an excuse turn on your Trumpsiah? Waiting for him to engage the enemy, the majority of Americans who have been gerrymandered into under represented districts? Waiting for him to stop ignoring them and ask questions and get answers regarding concerns? Waiting for him to pause before fanning the kindling set to burn it all to the ground?

In my eyes ignoring someone doesn't involve petty digs and twitter attacks.

U.S. Hate Crimes Up 20 Percent in 2016, Fueled by Election Campaign: Report

Hate crimes in nine U.S. metropolitan areas rose more than 20 percent last year, fueled by inflamed passions during the presidential campaign and more willingness for victims to step forward, a leading hate crimes researcher said on Monday.

Bias crimes appeared to increase in some cities following the Nov. 8 election of President Donald Trump, a trend that has extended into this year with a wave of bomb threats and desecrations at synagogues and Jewish cemeteries, according to California researcher Brian Levin.

Then he can count on your support in his attempts to pass Trumpcare?

You do understand there is no separation. The man is a sideshow.
